"Napoleon" Director Responds to Historians' Criticism: Were You There?

The historical film "Napoleon," starring Joaquin Phoenix, has recently faced negative reviews from both the media and historians.

Many historians believe the film mocks historical figures, with much of its content deviating from historical accuracy. In response, director Ridley Scott stated,

"When I clash with historians, I ask, 'Excuse me, buddy, were you there at the time? No? Well, then shut the hell up.'"

"Napoleon" is set to premiere in mainland China on December 1st.
